Wahrheit Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 No spamming, mon ami.This is hardly spam. It's a high-quality gif appropriate to the setting. I could edit the post to include a snarky sentence, if you like, but I thought the rhetoric of the image alone was a bit better at communicating it.

That's not much of a sentiment. Either provide a view to the issue, or don't bother at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Wait so then how is OP not spam?Why would it be? I mean to cause no offence, but I'm just trying to cut down on the one-liners and single image posts, because they rarely provide much content.

Wahrheit Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 His post does not amount to "much of a sentiment." When the forum is this quiet and it isn't en masse, what's wrong with short or snarky posts? It seems like a silly place to split hairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a huge problem with them, but you gotta be consistent with the forum rules. I know it feels a bit useless with the little activity there really is, but, yeah, it's all formalities.

Tentacruel Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I think one big problem with the debate is that pro-gun control advocates can tend to intentionally antagonize gun owners, in which case they're obviously going to resist new legislation.

Mutant Monster RAEG-HAPYP Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I think one big problem with the debate is that pro-gun control advocates can tend to intentionally antagonize gun owners, in which case they're obviously going to resist new legislation. I honestly feel both sides of the debate are terrible. There's no middle ground on guns at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically, mods picking fights with Wahrheit has not ended well. That aside, why have a fight about it anyway? I think that conversation derailed the thread more than the one image. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that conversation derailed the thread more than the one image. :) *shrug* He broke the current existing rules, I pointed it out. Thread should just carry on as normal. If you want to have a conversation about whether the rules should change though, more than happy to chat about it, and I don't mind too much hijacking a thread if no one was gonna really talk about it anyway. Dunno how it looks like I'm picking a fight. Definitely not trying to anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epicmemesbro Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 The NRA are bumbling fools who want to use video games as a scapegoat of violence while Libturd law makers blame political incorrectness and white guilt. >__________> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
